Best config for CD based games?

brolly · 11 May 2015, 05:19

I never owned a CD drive for the Amiga and I'm now trying to try some Amiga CD games under WinUAE.

I'm looking for some advice about what would be the best configuration to use in order to get maximum compatibility with most games (especially the most taxing ones).
I'm sure one config won't be able to support all games (I was thinking on using a 040 cpu, I know some games like Feeble Files will require a 060), but looking at least for some guidance to what to use as a base. CPU, RAM, JIT, RTG, etc.

RAM: 128mb
CPU: 020 with JIT enabled. It doesn't have any FPU i guess, but I don't think that's needed. The 040 is a quite incompatible CPU.
RTG, yes, install Picasso96 found on aminet.
Kick 3.1.
Chipset AGA.
Brolly i've been trying to reach you, can you friend me on the hyperspin forum?

spoUP, you should be able to send me a pm not sure what kind of problems you are having. I'll add you as friend in a bit.

Are you sure about the 020 cpu? I think many games will require at least a 040 (the most recent games, for the older stuff a 020 should be fine though).
